Once Books were enough to distract us

I realized today that there are so many venues to write. This is good because anyone can express a thought almost anywhere with ease. Is this how we use the Internet though? To reach others and express ourselves? No.

What are still the main forms of entertainment gambling and 24-7 porn? They are the biggest distractions which can trap anyone. Other websites for the most part have very little to do with education or enlightenment. They want our money or identity.

There's a wealth of knowledge out there, so why aren't we improving ourselves? We rather look at butt clapping applauding the b-word and dancing puppies. Everyone has become a video whore in some shape or fashion due to the mass voyeur delight.

There's just an overload for the need for constant distractions. I wonder how far this need will go. Where are these distractions taking us? There's nothing wrong with entertainment. I love a good chuckle, beautiful women, rolling the dice and even doing a video now and then, but these are only a part of life. Not life.

For some it seems like the need to stay connected to social sites via hand held devices is overwhelming. Like back-alley street junkies a bigger fix is sought with each click? CLICK! CLICK, CLICK! CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK! How many clicks are enough to feel worthy, fulfilled, connected, or united?

When the power's shut off will we freeze like a crashed hard drive sitting in our distant rooms motionless like lovers who reached one large climax and fell into a blissful coma?
